Project Basecamp

For years, Lupe Sanchez carried shame about her addiction. Today, she sees her recovery as one of her greatest strengths.

She believes that when we share our stories openly, we not only continue our own healing but we give hope to someone who may be struggling in silence.

Recovery doesn’t have to be hidden. Recover loudly. Your story could change a life. ❤️

Methadone clinics are often misunderstood.

As a nurse practitioner who prescribes methadone, I’ve seen something very different: people working hard to rebuild their lives, surrounded by staff who genuinely care and want to see them succeed. Recovery isn’t perfect, but for many, a methadone clinic is a safe place to find stability, support, and hope.

MAT Saved My Life.

For years, Lupe Sanchez believed nothing could free her from opioid addiction.

After multiple treatment attempts and countless setbacks, methadone became the turning point that allowed her to finally feel stable, function normally, and build a life she never thought was possible.

Medication for opioid use disorder—including Methadone, Suboxone, Sublocade, and Brixadi—has helped millions of people recover, yet these medications continue to face unnecessary stigma.

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you or someone you love is struggling with opioid addiction, don’t let misconceptions keep you from exploring every evidence-based option available.

What are your thoughts on medication-assisted treatment (MAT)? We’d love to hear your perspective in the comments.

Two years into recovery, Johnny Armijo almost relapsed.

He walked into a liquor store convinced alcohol would solve what he was feeling. But what he found was alcohol wasn’t the problem—it was the solution.

If you are struggling, reach out. Your community could be the reason you keep going. ❤️

He was still a kid… but alcohol already felt like the answer.

Johnny Armijo, CPSW, shares how he started drinking at a young age, hid it from everyone, and quickly learned to function like an adult while carrying addiction in secret. This is how addiction can begin long before anyone notices.

At four months pregnant, she was told that if she tested positive for co***ne, her unborn daughter would be taken by the state.

In that moment, she made a choice to change her life and give her daughter a different future.

Today, Angela Tello, Street Outreach Navigator with Albuquerque Community Safety, is nine years in recovery and helping others find hope. Recovery is possible. ❤️
